The Enugu State Police Command has summoned Chijioke Ezugwu, the Chairman of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, over his involvement in setting up a vigilante group to combat killer herdsmen in the region.
Why Was He Summoned?
🚨 Ezugwu and his vigilante team have been combing forests, allegedly targeting herdsmen suspected of criminal activities.
🚨 The police reportedly accused him of taking matters into his own hands, rather than relying on official security forces.
🚨 Sources claim the police wanted him to make a statement under caution, but he refused, citing his legal background and duty to protect his people.
Community Concerns & Government Intervention
📢 Residents argue that the vigilante group was necessary, as several people have been killed, farmlands destroyed, and kidnappings have surged.
📢 Governor Peter Mbah has intervened, preventing Ezugwu from being taken to Force Headquarters in Abuja, where he feared trumped-up charges could be brought against him.
📢 Locals insist that security forces have failed to act, leaving communities vulnerable to attacks.
What’s Next?
⚖️ Will the police allow Ezugwu’s vigilante group to continue operating?
⚖️ How will the government balance local security efforts with law enforcement protocols?
⚖️ Will this lead to broader discussions on community-led security initiatives?
